Using your AccuQuilt GO!orGO! Babyfabric cutter, cut 6 large triangles and one large hexagon from your fabric scraps and one large hexagon from batting... that was really fast and easy righ?? now arrange the triangles to form a hexagon, alternating fabrics.

Sew the triangles together to make 2 half-hexagons, using 3 triangles each: sew the first 2 triangles, open the seam allowances and sew the third triangle and open the seam. Put the half-hexagons right sides together and sew together on the longest edge. Press the seam open. You must have a pieced hexagon with the same size to the fabric hexagon.

hoy no nos despertamos temprano, no fue planeado y es de esas mañanas en que desde que abres los ojos te sientes bien por haber pasado una buena noche... we don't woke up early today, it wasn't planned and is one of those mornings when you have a happy feeling since you are open your eyes for having had a good night...

han sido días muy ocupados para mí, en la casa y en el trabajo.pero hablando sobre el trabajo en la casa, realmente me gusta tener una rutina llena de cosas que nos mantengan ocupados,entretenidos e inspirados y también claro, me encanta cuando en esa rutina hay también espacios de nada y que también nos hacen disfrutar la vida.there has been busy days for me, at the job and home.but taking about home work I like having a routine filled with things to keep us active, entertained and inspired, and of course, I also love when there are a lot of nothingness in there to enjoy as well.

Esos son dos regalos que hice hace unos días. Ya están envueltos y en la espera de brindar un poco de felicidad. Espero que a las personas a quienes se los daré les gusten. Those are two handmade presents that I made last days. They are wrapped already and waiting to give some happiness. I hope they love them.

y mientras, sigo aquí trabajando y espero poder compartirles un pequeño proyecto en unos cuantos días...and also I'm keep working and hope I'll be able to share a little project with you in a couple of days...

I had a great weekend here, sewing a lot, I enjoyed a delicious dinner at the grill that my guy did for me, reading, and watching Harry Potter movies all sunday! There was two beautiful days here, with a intense blue sky and many white clouds... not hot, just perfect!

... en fin, también quería mostrarles el último quilt que he terminado... es en lo que he estado trabajando recientemente, sólo no tengo fotos del proceso, pues comencé a hacerlo una noche y ya sabes, tuve esos momentos en que todo sale bien y estás tan contenta que no quieres parar de trabajar, así que me olvidé por completo de la cámara... anyhoo I want to show you my very last finished mini quilt... this is what I have been working on lately, but I didn't take any process photos, because it was a night work, you know, with that kind of moments when you are working so happy that you don't want to stop to sew... so I just forgot to use the camera...

todo el trabajo fue improvisado y en el proceso fui corrigiendo el tamaño de las letras para que lucieran uniformes y aunque los colores rosados no son mis elecciones habituales, estoy contenta con el resultado...!It just was an improv work and all the time I was trimming the blocks to make the letters look uniform and although pink colors are not my usual choices, I'm happy with the result...!

...les deseo una maravillosa semana a todos!...Wishing you all a wonderful week!

finally friday, right? although I had my relaxing days last week, these days have been very hard at work, you know, the typical "welcome to reality" ...So the Friday, very close to the weekend, always put me in a very good mood.

I was very excited when the folks from Accu Quilt told me that I could get one fabric cutter free to try it ... can you believed? I'm a very lucky girl!

I had seen it on many blogs and the truth is I had felt a little bit of envy as it makes the job of cutting the fabric is reduced considerably and I don't know if I had mentioned before, but talking about making quilts, cutting the fabric definitely ir not my favorite part... so this lovely toy is making easy that job for me!

...sólonecesito mástiempo para jugar, o mejor dicho, cortar y coser,porque tengoalgunas ideas paracompartir con ustedes! ...just I need more time to play, I mean to cutt and sew, because I have a few ideas to share with you!
